Past Classes

This class took a look at the art of Chuck Close, and used a similar grid technique to paint large, lifelike portraits. The great thing about using a grid, is that it allows people without any drawing abilities to paint something that looks real and impressive.

The linocut class was really cool. Even though I didn't have a lot of time to make anything, I managed to whip out a cool little pear linocut, which I used for the merit button. Orly made a cool Christmas tree linocut, and then printed herself a really great set of Christmas cards. Laura made a giraffe. And Maya made a super-complicated two-piece bug on a leaf.

That's right! We had an animation class, and it was awesome. The turnout was a little lower than I expected, but that just meant that there was more animation time for those who attended. So yippee!

We had just had our first class of the fall season, and it was a blast. I hadn't really done much collage before, so despite that mine turned out really ugly, I was pretty pleased. And I left inspired to make a few more. Maybe I'll try again this weekend.
